Hello everyone, I'm looking into moving to Canada, and trying to find answers to my thousand and one questions I ran into this forum, reading through I've found answers to many of them, but there's one that I can't find. I hope someone can at least tell me where to look.

I've been playing with the idea of loading all of my stuff in a U-Haul and bring it across the border (from the US), but my lawyer said that paying the taxes might actually be more expensive than buying new furniture. Has anybody done anything like that, or has any idea how that works?

Any help on that matter would be greatly appreciated.

That's a good question. Too bad no one's got an answer for it, as I was wondering the same thing...
Anybody out there have a comment, or answer?

If it used, your personal property for more than a year, I don't believe there is any duty to pay.
